I currently have xp installed and can't install the dammed game grr.. it was so much fun too

. Can it be run in 2k?

I know this game is a lil old.. but it was fun dammit..

If it's saying it requires win95/98, then NO

I had need for speed (racing game) and that refused to run in any other non-NT compatibility mode.

Man that sucks.. I had traded some zip disks for a bunch of games which I used to play that I liked.. and can't even play them

I wonder if they'd play in ME... but... ugh.. I'd never install ME to even try

I have a dual boot setup for backup purposes, but also as a lesson learned from Need for Speed... if I want to play a win95/98 game I could reboot into windows 98 and play

It's been awhile since I've set up a dual boot box..

Should be easy enough though.. gotta find where I put my copy of 98 se grr

Yup, set 2 partitions, make D:/second partition your windows 98se partition and install it there, then install win NT/2000/XP on the C: partition... also remember that if you use NTFS, you won't be able to see anything on the C: drive when browsing in windows 98se (though I think running MS network on the windows 98 machine will allow some security level access... haven't done that in over a year so I forget myself)...

I've played Red Alert in Win 2K. It worked fine.

You installed it onto a partition with win2k as its OS?

I wonder why you wouldn't be able to install it on xp then =/ guess I'll try to install it on my work laptop and see whats up

How did you manage to install it on win2k mooky? I just tried and it said it can only be installed on win 95

Ok the patch allows him to play.. but what about allowing him to install it in the first place? =/
